Wrong Cycle 2 Ride

What your doing

is your chasing a vicious cycle that never ends….[out here chasin drugs] remains all the same

and life stops where the cycle begins…[as soon as you pick it up it put’s you down]

to activate you take the first one

from there where your goin is known to none….[anything may or will happen between life and death]

with this so called sensation

it’s the hardest thing to quit….[once you start you may never stop]

always knowin that place you goin

man oh man that’s some real shit…[lying stealing cheating and deciet]

when it’s all over that bad wind is still blowin….

never had I ever checked to be sure…[not knowin what you are about to get into]

not knowin when the wind stopped blowin

I’d still fall short of a cure… [pain misery still remains drugs don’t take away the pain]

what you do know is

you’ve become complacent…[thinkin that it’s okay to use again after the downfall]

day after day chasing that sensation…..

sayin yes when you wanna say no [it’s wrong you know but your still willin to go thru with it]

man oh man how low can you go HOW LOW CAN YOU GO

caught up in a space so bleak [cloudy states of mind confused unsure]

now all of a sudden you think you pains unique…. [believing that it’s only cause you are who you are]

sick and sufferin

that’s what you’ve become

from now until you stop

your standing in front of the devils gun…..[you life has become an accident waiting to happen]

what you fear to admit

is you’ve become complacent

day after day

chasin that same ol sensation….

man when I walk into the place

first thing I see is my sister’s face

sights so sad it takes me back

to a place

where all I ever did was chase that chase……

no where to go or to turn

cause of the simple fact your mind and bodies been over burned…..

feets on fire

lifes hanging from a short cord ….

cotton mouth and dehydration sets in

lungs begin to feel like cardboard…..

people places and things

jumpin up and down

depending on toxic mood swings

time to change your playmates and playgrounds……

unless ofcourse once again

you choose to live out of bounds……. insanity to me is driving through life without seat belts it can also be like repeating the same vicious cycle… expecting different results

Blunt Cipher

Sittin out a blunt cipher

8 heads on a el pah

everybody wants the blunt….

hands and eyes constantly on it

hommie tell me what is it you really want….

Hydro… alto… fonto or skunk

cronic sonic or skitzafrantic funk…

8 to 16 and you think you’re a man

just because your boy has an blunt in his hand…

now society has exposed you

to what your goin thru

this is why you do what you do

when you do do what you do….

playin pinball sega nine or eight hours a day

lettin their minds go berserk in every which way…

every wants the blunt and they wont let go

everybody wants the blunt but don’t they know….

new your new york

is a place of give to take

watch out how you style that gold

see your life may be at stake…

muggers and schemers are all over the city

searching for a way to get down to the nitty gritty…

forget the crimes and crooks

and the murder one looks

in this life time dullah you had better hit the books….

cause knowledge is the only key

that they cannot take away… cause its mental g…

so get off the hard rocks and the murder one looks

get yo young ass up and into those books…

stop runnin in the streets away from school

these so called friends you have are as numb as you are fool….

this is why society doesn’t offer much to the children of today

question…

what has society have to offer the children today?

new and improved ways to abort your child before it is born…

question

what has society to offer a child today?

access to new and improved powerful toxins

that’ll have an adult sayin yes

when they should be sayin no….

what society offers our children today…

is new ways to glamorize death on the tell lie vision….

what do they teach our children today?

how to hate and to deceive not the way to achieve….

they lead the young mind

into a state of total shock

to a point of no return

they take them out to the furthest reaches of genocide

then they have the nerve to say it was’nt them who lied…

age may just be a number

yet n still

the younger they are

they harder society teaches them to kill…

Dope Wont Cope

On the outskirts of the ghetto

coke and dope is movin like hot cakes…

it’s got brothers out here

lookin for ways to cope

down here it doesn’t get any better

no matter where you are ….

looking for a thing to swing even a fling

something to make his eardrum ring…

and when it gets tough

you know you have just stepped into the ring

with the darkside king….

see you need to know

that the only way out

is thru your higher powers connections

and all that God brings …

respect yourself and believe in your higher power

let go and let God…

respect yourself get your faith goin

whenever things get to hard…

with a strong will

one can fufill

and remember faith is kool to keep

don’t ever put down your cards

cause that’s when the devil creeps….

so let go and let God

swing with the things

your higher power brings ….

you’ve swang with this one

been there done that

said you needed just one

and tried to keep it under your hat

when you know you know

you wasn’t havin none of that…..

you keep on keepin on sober

and one day the pain and sufferin will be over

just remember your higher power has always been sober

so u go young one, cause the pain and misery

is totally over….

Gods Backing U

See that young man

on that corner

in search of a life to call his own….

He’s not even aware

it doesn’t exist there

never the less he constantly returns

in search of inadvertent despair…..

he is not alone

as he stands there in a dark trance

yes God is carriyng him along…

in need of a helpin hand

so when he does reach his manhood

he’ll be able to identify with life on lifes terms…

tears will flow down his cheeks

until he learns to understand

till that time comes

he’ll be carried along

cause God will take him by the hand…

come along… young and old

allow Jesus to lead your soul

for the gift he gives out weighs any gold

come along and follow Jesus

he is our guiding light

so long as we follow his lead

we can only be right…

for us he died

for our souls he tried

to make a clearer way

to reach the highest of the high …

and does so till this day

he is the greatest man to walk the earth

now it’s 2 15 once again

and where else can I find

a true and honest friend

except in Him….

day after day goes by

never will I ever

feel a need to cry

why ask why…

see I know Jesus is on my side

in his truth I can abide

knowin fully well that died

to make the darkness bright

in essence to bring the truth to light……..

Stop Complaining

you know since thanksgiving…..

I’ve been hearin a lot of cryin from grown

men and woman…

for instance, I don’t enjoy the holidays because my parents aren’t alive or

because my parents are alive…

yet when I’m around, they seem to be dead….

because we don’t get along well.

the only thing I ever found in my stocking’s at christmas time were my feet.

then I hear the bickering and whining about how you can’t deal with the christmas spirit…

well you can try the holy spirit…

see cause you can enjoy that everyday of the year,

holidays included… see now I can picture myself…..

out there tryin to deal with the muck and mire…

of tryin to fufill everyones desire…

except my own… then I’ll be

wondering how the hell did I let the christmas spirit…

take me out for a drink or a pill..

you see you have a choice…

you don’t have to follow the christmas spirit…

you don’t even have to feel it..

you can just as soon stay your sorry ass home…

but you’d better not be home alone, part two…

see you need to remember the pain,

so this way you can avoid the misery and the suffering…

volunteers only…

pay at the door... leave and your life inside

in fact you have to buy the ticket to ride…

by the grace of GOD here I sit in one whole piece…

and I got the nerve to forget,

I’am still recovering from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body….

suicide my ass…. I already tried suicide on the layaway plan…

that’s what I’ve been running from,

that quiet power, so sneaky…

here it goes again and I’m ridin shotgun…

I’m cryin instead of thinking about when my kids…

depending on me to be a father and I didn’t feed them…

so they couldn’t eat,

cause their father wasn’t hungry so he didn’t see how they could be hungry…

and why he was so baffled when we would cry…

aint that some shit for a kid to go thru…

it shouldn’t hurt to be a child…

here’s the real hook ….

now the father is crying…

instead of trying to show some gratitude to a higher power…

that we claim to respect and appreciate…

I know a mother who suffers from p’m’s’…

she has a problem with taking care of her baby girl…

I know another mother who has a problem with her vanity, that led to her insanity…

she has all the strength and ability to nuture that child…

yet the dope won’t allow her to do so…

now it won’t let her connect a reason or let her find time…

forgetting that’s what her mother did to her…

to build that hatred she has harbored..

so long. she forgot she was one of those children who were being beat

instead of being fed… yeah cause her mother … father and aunt, was a crack head…

yeah all of a sudden how easily we forget…

when we get a little growth, or so called maturity…

we want so much shit… that’s just what we get, shit…

so we can once again walk.. shit.. talk shit.. chase shit and eat shit…

hell with a holiday… pray hard and thank GOD for another day…

see once again, I’m taking for granted…

like he owes me something …GOD said he could If we would…

try and seek him if you know that you want him…

act like you want a relationship with him….

cause aint no way the relationship is gonna work…

unless both parties show some sign of true interest…

He already showed me over and over again and again….

crying about a holiday… fool you need to get grateful for another day…

stop crying for what you already have…

take some time out to breathe…

so you can slow down your anxiety level…

don’t tell me about what you ain t got or can’t get…..

cause those are the things He knows will hurt you…

tears roll down my eyes…

for a child with a real reason to cry, he was born with no limbs…

no arms… no legs…

yet he can still get around a lot better than some of the people in this world with limbs …

no arms… no legs… yet he knows how to use what he’s got….

to function in life… no arms…

no legs yet all the toys he’s got for his holiday…

yeah all these toys…

he only lacks the limbs to properly play with them…

but he’s working with what he’s got….

so think about it the next time you start to cry ask yourself why
